The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Only the educated are free.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
